for them to write a haiku,
for us is to write A, or B, or C -
if our form of encoding
sound wasn't  as it already is:
we wouldn't have chemistry -
say Na and sodium,
               Rd and radon;
they write haiku like
we write A B or C, to them haiku is
our version of the alphabet,
the succinct -
         hard to orientate
units of encoding
as complete meaning /
majestic -
                    we just find
it hard to spell /
put the puzzle back together,
the puzzle is still
a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  i  j  k  l  m  n  o  p
            ­         q  r  s  t  u  v  w  (x  y  z)
      v.i.p reservation
for mathematics (in brackets):
now... the mystery of life,
primarily? put that puzzle back
together. is it a puzzle in
the first place? how should i know?!
       it's all fair game:
they write a haiku we write an A,
   they write another haiku,
we write a B, the ****** puzzle
is there for the taking:
   all you have to do is take some
play-dough on your little camping
adventure and come back with something
remotely needing boxes and shelves
and libraries, and university lecturers;
perhaps a few cannibals to boot too.
